How many moles of H2O form when 4.5 moles O2 reacts?
mart [117]

Explanation:

Start with a balanced equation.

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O

Assuming that H2 is in excess, multiply the given moles H2O by the mole ratio between O2 and H2O in the balanced equation so that moles H2O cancel.

5 mol H2O × (1 mol O2/2 mol H2O) = 2.5 mol O2

Answer: 2.5 mol O2 are needed to make 5 mol H2O, assuming H2 is in excess.

Because of its high reactivity which element is normally obtained by the electrolysis
katrin [286]

<span>Lithium has a property of high reactivity and to obtain lithium is through electrolysis of its fused salts. Because lithium is very reactive, it is not found free so electrolysis is use to split it apart to get it.  Moreover, Lithium is an alkali metal with single valence electron that is easily given up to form cation, which make it a good conductor of heat and electricity.</span>
